It's time to wrap this baby bear in blue! According to a press release from the San Diego Zoo, veterinarians discovered this cute 5-week-old giant panda was a boy during his weekly exam Thursday.

The cub has yet to be named, because the zoo follows the Chinese tradition waiting until a giant panda is 100 days old before giving it a monicker. But word is, the zoo will be asking for the public's help, so keep a lookout for how you can help name this bouncing baby boy!

Until then, check out this cub and his mom on the San Diego Zoo's live Panda Cam.
